People are becoming much more critical of recruiters' rhetoric during the Great Resignation era. Even as early as the application process, employers will show their slips, and it will be apparent that their business is not an ideal working environment . Red flags during the hiring process should never be brushed off or ignored, and this case is no exception to that rule. Reddit user Iambacon shared a job posting they found on Facebook to r/recruitinghell. There were several things with this pos…

Working 40 hours a week for years is nearly impossible without respect and reasonable benefits. Everyone who works deserves a reasonable amount of time off, especially for important life events, like getting married or having a child. When redditor u/WhoSc3w3dDaP00ch requested time off for their honeymoon nearly two months in advance, their deadbeat manager (who was notoriously bad at reading important emails) ignored the request for weeks before finally denying OP's time off. The boss said “re…

If retail work wasn't hellish enough, it turns out that even providing good customer service can get you reprimanded by the bosses . One troubled redditor recently shared their experience working as a mystery shopper to r/antiwork , which spurred a lively thread of many other stories from former mystery shoppers and retail workers. The thread reveals that the mystery shopping strategy is much more about snitching on employees for failing to properly scam customers than it is about ensuring qual…

Sigh

Signing bonuses. Health insurance. Paid time-off. A good job isn't just about the salary, and often benefits are the main draw of a job for prospective employees . That's why it's totally devastating when shady employers use loopholes to scam their workers out of hard-earned bonuses, holidays, and other promised benefits. Redditor u/FlabertoDimmadome was so indignant on behalf of their brother that they turned to r/antiwork to vent about how an Amazon warehouse was trying to cheat their brother…

Many people turned to work-from-home jobs at the height of the pandemic when lockdowns made it impossible for business-as-usual to continue. Telecommuting became the new normal, and suddenly working for a company in another state was an option. Sounds like a win-win for everyone, right? Companies didn't have to pay for office space and remote workers had more free time and newfound flexibility in their schedules. It was all going great until employers started making their remote workers come in…

If you've ever gone to a movie theater, you've likely witnessed the massacre of popcorn, fountain sodas, and sticky candy left behind for the workers to clean up. Sometimes it's so bad, it seems intentional, as if some moviegoers make a huge mess just because they can. But what kind of person acts like a complete a-hole just because it's legal? An a-hole, that's who. Movie theater worker @patrickjdennis_ vented on Twitter after a particularly rude crowd trashed the cinema on their way out.

Are people working too much?

What should you do if you get stuck at your job site after closing and your manager refuses to help you out because he values the front door more than your wellbeing? Ask Reddit, apparently. When u/Zealousideal-Ebb-481 asked r/legaladvice for guidance while they were literally trapped inside Walmart, the comment section echoed the same answer: call the fire department. While OP was worried about getting fired, many stressed that OP's life would be in danger should an emergency arise. Unsurprisi…

Every employee's dream

Sometimes a job can become so unbearable that you just snap

The five day work week seems pretty reasonable to us because it's all we've ever known. And before there were laws that protected workers, everyone was unarguably worse off. So why should we complain now? Well, because it's completely sensible to hope for a better world, where people don't have to use what little free time they have to do household work. Of course, not everyone works five days a week. Some people do three long shifts a week, while others have a four-days-on-three-days-off sort o

Too accurate

Life's work and then you work

It's okay, we'll get through this miserable week together.
